Back on Goodreads and back to writing, and hopefully publishing.
I need my fans, old and new, to boost my confidence, as I start over again.
The reason for my long absence can be chalked up to...well, life!
I have a large family and most live on our property, in South Georgia, Cow Creek Farm. No, we don't farm, and no, we no longer have cows. The name is derived from a creek called "Cow" that flows through our property.
OK, enough about me. I want to hear about you--what you're reading, maybe writing. Or just what you are doing nowadays.
Love, Janice

I kept picking it up and putting it down, torn between whether it was too good to throw away or too bad to keep. Finally, I pinned myself down and really READ it and fell in love with parts of it all over again. Where did the idea come from? Life. My life. As a teen, I got stuck with a distant neighbor and a member of my church who was classy (or so I thought then). Let's just say she was different from the local country folk I knew. My intrigue didn't last long because Sibyl turned out to be one of the most conniving and envious person I ever met. I was an emotional cripple till I finally let go--and saw myself in her as well.

Hi, Ms. Daugharty: I read Necessary Lies on a whim and loved it. Please tell me if you wrote anything else that may be a sequel or is similar to it. I love the South Georgia setting and the relate-able characters and story. I have actually heard of people who could easily fit into one of your plots. Which book should I read next?

It's kind of shocking, since the book came out so long ago, and truly few readers liked it as well as you did. Thank you very much. No, no sequels to Necessary Lies. But If you read my other 9 novels, or numerous short stories--all Ebooks now, many still in print--youll find many of the characters revisited, all of the same ilk. Just folk like Pappy Ocain, people I've known all my life. Look at Amazon or any of the other book sites for a list of all I've written. If you find one you like, let me know. Writers need readers like you. So honored, Janice(less)

What if...? by Janice Daugharty, author of "The Little Known"

Like many other writers, I often find my stories in newspaper articles. I read about a poor black boy who found a sack of bank-robbed cash in an alley and returned it to the bank. I asked myself, what if the boy decided to keep it instead? And what kind of boy would it be to risk getting caught and accused of robbing the bank himself or of being in cahoots with the robber? What would be his motiva Read more of this blog post »
